I hope all went well this morning! Eat lots of ice cream! I guess we won't be HEARING from you for a while......

Today at work I got a call on my cell that I didn't recognise. A guy came on and asked me if I worked in bathroom number 2. WTF? Do people really call people who work in numbered bathrooms??? I told him I think he had the wrong number, and he said sorry and goodby, so I don't think it was a crank call.....

Hope you have a quick recovery blueerica!

Rstar - maybe they were calling a building plumber asking about a job they recently did?

So - today I should be getting the car back. Last week the other car was in for repairs to the tune of $1300 (they did some maintanance and fixed a spark plug issue) and then just days later the Cherokee overheats. After they put in a new thermostat we discover coolent all over the passenger floor board. yay new heater core.

So - another $1000 roughly with that because they have to go in through the dash or some such nonsense.

Tax refund went to the vehicles this year. Guess I should be happy that it worked out that way instead of not having the money.

Will be nice to have the car back through and be mobile again. You never want to leave the house so much as when you can't.

Surgery went well from what I can tell... just residual nastiness from it all. From all the pictorial logs I've seen on adult recovery from tonsillectomy, I seem to be moving pretty quickly into scabbing. I'll take that as a good sign. I have the time to take off, but I put myself on the schedule for a Tuesday return. I guess I'll just have to see.

Glad it went well!

Betty, good point. Perhaps it was some sort of a plumbing department for a large building. But he did ask if I work in, not did I work on the bathroom. My first thought was actually a batroom attendant in a hotel.

Blureerica, I'm also glad it went well. I'm also glad I had them out when I was four so now I don't have to worry about that one!

Truths For Mature People

I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
There is great need for a sarcasm font.
How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
Was learning cursive really necessary?
Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
Bad decisions make good stories.
You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.
I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
“Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this – ever.
I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.
I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.
Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.
I would rather try to carry 10 over-loaded plastic bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.
I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear or understand a word they said?
I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?
There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate bicyclists.
Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!
The first testicular guard. the "Cup," was used in hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means that it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.
